Aviation industry in amazing but Embraer does not seem to realize it.
Pros
Great products and technology, amazing engineers and talented people passionate by aviation. Nice entry salary, 401k.
Cons
Embraer has 3 main problems: - Bureaucracy: administrative areas and IT usually are designed to solve problems inside a company but it is not how they work inside Embraer. They create a lot of unecessary bureaucracy and process that cut the inovation and work flow. I have seen a lot of projects losing their time to market. - Does not value the employees: too long hours for an engineer company, food is getting worse everyday, cutting benefits, there is no carreer plan neither salary increase. As time passes, your salary will be nothing compared to peers in other companies and far below the value it should be due the responsabilities you have inside Embraer. Some good improvements, such as home office, are not real: it was implemeted however the low management does not allow you to work from home even knowing the whole area is elegible to home office (it is a really old culture). - Transparency: you will be the last to know anything.
